Hi viking 252200
Just remember to set the slipper back to the factory measurement or you might strip the idler gear.

1.8 laps on the indoor track. Better luck next time.

Great vid mate, did you use a gopro?

skyaflake · #**664** 30-12-2013

Yes. Hero3+.

Great thing. Only recorded at 720p, will try 4k next time

dikke hond · #**665** 30-12-2013

Look at that X6 at start of the vid, amazing car!

Frame rates too low to even bother with 4K if filming fast moving objects. 720p with 60/120fps is what you want.

skyaflake · #**667** 30-12-2013

Yeah i know. It will record 1080p at 60fps. 4K will be used for some static filming.

Looking good. Can you post your setup for that track please? Or a link to it
Cheers

Sure. Will do on Thurs/Friday.

So first race of the year is over and it was fun!
Spent too much time on the roof, but at least i didn't finish last!

Now, this is only the second time out with the Yokomo (the last 2wd buggy I had was Tamiya's Astute...quite a few years back

) and I am in need of some guidance...

My track is mainly hard packed dirt with a loose layer of dust, which we valiantly try to remove before each run...without much success though.
It's also a very tight and technical track.

I run my Yokomo in mid motor configuration and I seem to struggle with lack of traction.
I know a big part of it is down to me and my lack of driving skills(since some of the really fast guys also run mid motor)

Do you guys have any tips for getting some more traction thus making the car a bit easier to drive or should I just go for rear motor option?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I saw something last night on RCTech for the bmax2, but I'm not sure if this is only for the RM version. they suggested spacing the transmission from the chassis as raising it up improve forward traction.

But Personally i think i'd be running rear motor if traction is that low!

Rear motor defo, one of masamis setups from yokomo website

Its for the RS model. I've seen some company made a clear plastic insert for that car that goes between the chassis and the gearbox.

Good video, why bothered filming in 4k not many people have screens that can play 4k.

Azarashi made these parts for the original B-Max2 before the MR/RS versions were around. These parts were not really needed, some 2mm spacers did the job just as well. Raising the tranny is good for forward bite, a similar mod seems to be quite popular for the TLR 22 series.

Just rebuilt the ball diff on my bmax mr in mid layout, put all back together and realised I have put the diff in backwards so screw driver slot for adjustment is on the transmission side. Looking at it there is no binding or anything, so does it matter which Way it goes in? Or do I really need to take it all apart and swap it round?
Any advice appreciated.

It can loosen it's self off and wreck the balls and plates so I'd change it.

Just Lee from what I can see, Pro-Line wheels as he's a Pro-Line factory driver he may be working with them for a hex conversion product.

Naoto looks standard fit to me.

Lee posted on facebook that he uses AE steering arms and hexes "until Yokomo has something ready". I hope that'll be the case soon.
